The Eric Bleumink Fund awards scholarships to talented students and
young researchers from developing countries. Such scholarships enable
them to further develop as individuals and to make important
contributions to the development of their own countries. Since 2000, the year the fund was started, the EBF has handed out
over 40 scholarships. This means more than 40 young, ambitious and very
talented people were able to follow an additional study at the
University of Groningen. Here they were introduced to an academic
culture, libraries and international contacts they are often lacking in
their homeland.

The grant is awarded for a 1 year or 2 years Master’s degree programme at the University of Groningen. The grant covers tuition fee, costs of international travel, subsistence, books, and health insurance. Please
note that a considerable number of students apply for this scholarship
each year, whereas the University can issue only a limited number of
grants.
